      sometime yesterday. He was one of my best friends and tournament partner,
      He passed doing what he loved........fishing.
      Please pray for him and his family during this hard time.
      His brother was in a accident a few years ago and was paralized.
      His family has been through alot and I wish them the best of luck.

      Nate, you will always be in our thoughts. Rest In Peace.
